    Scam Type: Bogus Offer

    Trending: October 2011

    you must complete surveys and a total of 6 sponsor offers. Chances are, after you have completed the offers it isn't going to be worth the Gift Card, assuming that part of the promotion isn't a scam. Also keep in mind the scammers are acquiring a treasure trove of your personal data. You will be required to provide your name, address, phone numbers and date of birth. This will enable the shady marketers to not only spam your Facebook account, but also harass you via snail mail, phone calls and text messages.
    Be careful and also warn your friends relatives too . Have a nice time .

    Never heard of Tim Hortons before, so I wasn't even tempted.
    Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain!

    At least i know where the chain is from, maybe if it where the likes of McDonald's it may have reached a wider audience, although i rarely go there...

    This probably has a low impact but it's always good to know what new scam is around..

    as long as the bank of Indra is never used as a scam i think many of us are safe..

    In Canada, Tim Hortons is hugely successful. And they're expanding world-wide, or trying to. A coffeeshop with good prices and good food should do well in any market.

    I was referring more to the fact that Tim Horton's name was on a scam.

    Fair enough. I was actually trying to be funny, but as usual, I failed miserably.
